启示录 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
天使与小书卷
10 我看见另一位大力天使从天而降。他身披云霞，头顶彩虹，脸如太阳，双腿如火柱， 2 手中拿着一卷打开了的小书卷，右脚踏在海中，左脚踏在地上。 3 他大喊的时候，声如狮吼，之后有七声雷鸣。 4 我正要将雷鸣的意思记录下来，就听见天上有声音说：“你要封住七声雷鸣所说的事，别写下来。”
5 我刚才所见的那位脚踏海洋和陆地的天使向天举起右手， 6 凭着活到永永远远、创造天地海洋和其中一切的上帝起誓说：“必不再耽延了。 7 等第七位天使吹响号角时，上帝奥秘的计划就实现了，正如上帝向祂的奴仆——众先知所宣告的。”
8 先前从天上对我说话的声音又吩咐我：“你去，从那位脚踏海洋陆地的天使手中把展开的小书卷拿来。”
9 于是，我走到那天使面前，请他将小书卷给我。他对我说：“拿去，把它吃了。你的腹中会感到苦涩，可是你口中会觉得甘甜如蜜。” 10 我就从天使手中接过小书卷，将它吃了，我口中果然甘甜如蜜，之后腹中觉得苦涩。 11 那天使又对我说：“你必要再对许多民族、国家、语言族群、君王说预言。”

天使與小書卷
10 我看見另一位大力天使從天而降。他身披雲霞，頭頂彩虹，臉如太陽，雙腿如火柱， 2 手中拿著一卷打開了的小書卷，右腳踏在海中，左腳踏在地上。 3 他大喊的時候，聲如獅吼，之後有七聲雷鳴。 4 我正要將雷鳴的意思記錄下來，就聽見天上有聲音說：「你要封住七聲雷鳴所說的事，別寫下來。」
5 我剛才所見的那位腳踏海洋和陸地的天使向天舉起右手， 6 憑著活到永永遠遠、創造天地海洋和其中一切的上帝起誓說：「必不再耽延了。 7 等第七位天使吹響號角時，上帝奧祕的計劃就實現了，正如上帝向祂的奴僕——眾先知所宣告的。」
8 先前從天上對我說話的聲音又吩咐我：「你去，從那位腳踏海洋陸地的天使手中把展開的小書卷拿來。」
9 於是，我走到那天使面前，請他將小書卷給我。他對我說：「拿去，把它吃了。你的腹中會感到苦澀，可是你口中會覺得甘甜如蜜。」 10 我就從天使手中接過小書卷，將它吃了，我口中果然甘甜如蜜，之後腹中覺得苦澀。 11 那天使又對我說：「你必要再對許多民族、國家、語言族群、君王說預言。」
Revelation 10
New English Translation
The Angel with the Little Scroll
10 Then[a] I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped[b] in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire.[c] 2 He held[d] in his hand a little scroll that was open, and he put his right foot on the sea and his left on the land. 3 Then[e] he shouted in a loud voice like a lion roaring, and when he shouted, the seven thunders sounded their voices. 4 When the seven thunders spoke, I was preparing to write, but[f] just then[g] I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders spoke and do not write it down.” 5 Then[h] the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6 and swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, and the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, “There will be no more delay![i] 7 But in the days[j] when the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God is completed,[k] just as he has[l] proclaimed to his servants[m] the prophets.” 8 Then[n] the voice I had heard from heaven began to speak[o] to me[p] again,[q] “Go and take the open[r] scroll in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9 So[s] I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He[t] said to me, “Take the scroll[u] and eat it. It[v] will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” 10 So[w] I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it did taste[x] as sweet as honey in my mouth, but[y] when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. 11 Then[z] they[aa] told me: “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations,[ab] languages, and kings.”
Footnotes
- Revelation 10:1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
- Revelation 10:1 tn Or “clothed.”
- Revelation 10:1 tn Or “like fiery pillars,” translating πυρός (puros) as an attributive genitive.
- Revelation 10:2 tn Grk “and having.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “he.”
- Revelation 10:3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
- Revelation 10:4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
- Revelation 10:4 tn The words “just then” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
- Revelation 10:5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
- Revelation 10:6 tn On this phrase see BDAG 1092 s.v. χρόνος.
- Revelation 10:7 tn Grk “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel.”
- Revelation 10:7 tn The aorist ἐτελέσθη (etelesthē) has been translated as a proleptic (futuristic) aorist (ExSyn 564 cites this verse as an example).
- Revelation 10:7 tn The time of the action described by the aorist εὐηγγέλισεν (euēngelisen) seems to be past with respect to the aorist passive ἐτελέσθη (etelesthē). This does not require that the prophets in view here be OT prophets. They may actually refer to the martyrs in the church (so G. B. Caird, Revelation [HNTC], 129).
- Revelation 10:7 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.
- Revelation 10:8 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
- Revelation 10:8 tn The participle λαλοῦσαν (lalousan) has been translated as “began to speak.” The use of πάλιν (palin) indicates an ingressive idea.
- Revelation 10:8 tn Grk “with me.” The translation “with me” implies that John was engaged in a dialogue with the one speaking to him (e.g., Jesus or an angel) when in reality it was a one-sided conversation, with John doing all the listening. For this reason, μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ (met’ emou, “with me”) was translated as “to me.”
- Revelation 10:8 tn Grk “again, saying.” The participle λέγουσαν (legousan) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
- Revelation 10:8 tn The perfect passive participle ἠνεῳγμένον (ēneōgmenon) is in second attributive position and has been translated as an attributive adjective.

- Revelation 10:9 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
- Revelation 10:9 tn The words “the scroll” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
- Revelation 10:9 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
- Revelation 10:10 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the angel.

- Revelation 10:11 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
- Revelation 10:11 tn The referent of “they” is not clear in the Greek text.
- Revelation 10:11 tn Grk “and nations,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here or before the next item since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
